The Wisconsin Insurance Plan relies on the producer
("insurance agent" or licensed intermediary) to secure the needed information from the applicant
and from other sources to
properly complete the application.
We
suggest you review all the pages of this web site. This page provides only
a brief summary of the many items a producer needs to know about applying to the
WIP. This page is not a substitute for reading and understanding all of
this website. If you have questions, call us.
Printing
applications information is at the bottom of
this page.
BRIEF
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION:
 |
Provide all the information requested
on the application. Be sure to provide all of the additional information requested when a
question in Section 10 is answered "yes". See application
notes in italics by each question. |
 |
Review the information provided with the
applicant. Don't guess or assume! |
 |
Advise the applicant that the application is only a request for coverage and does not bind the Plan to
provide coverage. |
 |
Advise the applicant that you
are not an agent or representative of the Plan and that you have no
authority to commit the Plan to provide coverage and you cannot act on
behalf of the Plan in any manner. |
 |
Provide proper documentation of
rejection by another insurer - NOT THE PLAN. |
 | Sign the application (the
Producer sings - Not the applicant). |
 | Enclose
the proper deposit
premium* - if you are requesting coverage to begin. BE SURE THE CHECK
IS PAYABLE TO WISCONSIN INSURANCE PLAN - NOT YOUR AGENCY. The deposit
premiums listed on the applications are only minimums. You may submit
amounts greater than the minimum. We do not accept third party checks
endorsed to the Plan. |
 |
You may wish to attach a short
narrative to explain situations that are a bit different. |
 |
Do not fax applications.
Many times they become unreadable. |
*To calculate the proper deposit
premium for the Commercial Property Programs, add the limits
requested on the Building to those requested on the Business Personal Property. The proper deposit premium is
based on the combined limits.
BEWARE!
COMMON MISTAKES THAT COULD RESULT IN REJECTIONS.
 |
Application is not completed
properly or information requested is not provided. |
 |
Application is not
signed by the Producer. |
 |
Application is not
readable (poor photocopy or poor fax copy). |
 |
Proper documentation of rejection
is not enclosed. A rejection by the Plan is not proper documentation. |
 |
Proper deposit premium
is not enclosed or deposit check is not payable to WISCONSIN INSURANCE PLAN. (We may require the applicant to
pay the full annual premium as the deposit if there have been previous payment
problems). |
BEWARE!
WE UNDERWRITE! APPLY EARLY!
 |
We are not required to insure every property
submitted. |
 |
We are not required to begin coverage as requested. |
 |
Coverage will never
begin earlier than the day after a proper submission with deposit is
both received and deemed acceptable by the Plan. |
 |
We may decline to begin coverage
if the submission is not proper, until we survey the premises, until we receive additional information, or for
other reasons. |
 |
We suggest you
apply 45 - 60 days before coverage is needed to begin. |
